We followed the railway path to Strathblane, where we had lunch, and then once we left the village, we followed a rather boggy tack through some fields where we chatted to a man who, in his lunch hour had come out to walk the dogs and feed some swans with little cygnets: so he let us tag along... Great!
As we walked today the view has gradually changed and the mountain backdrop become more pronounced (shades of things to come)
The track became increasingly boggy and overgrown with fallen trees blocking our way. We managed to struggle out the other side with only a quick backward glance
before closing the gate behind us, then we commenced our walk along the West Highland way!!
The path led us past our first Whiskey Distillery
and through a delightful little cafe stop (we resisted the temptation).
Gradually, the terrain became more steep, with the views of the highlands in the distance becoming more clear
and our first sight of Loch Lomond in the distance!
Soon we arrived at our destination after a most enjoyable day.
